Trinidad Colorado is located just a few miles north of the Colorado – New Mexico border, and home to the Trinidad Reservoir. This area also is where I hope to fill in a few target birds, like the newly spilt Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay, Pinyon Jays and Prairie Falcons. It’s not Prairie Falcon , but it is a great little Rock Wren.

Mike doubled up with “smushed”, a new addition to the adjective list.
